          This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of July 22, 2014 (this “Agreement”), is entered into by and among Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Parent”), CVLY Corp., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Acquisition Subsidiary”), and Madison Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Company”). Parent is executing this Agreement as the sole shareholder of CVLY Corp. and to signify its agreement to assume the obligations of Parent set forth herein (including, without limitation, the payment of the Merger Consideration). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and any reference herein to Parent as a “party” hereto, and consistent with Section 1922(d) of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended (“PBCL”), Parent shall not be deemed a “party” to the Merger for purposes of Section 1929 of the PBCL.

          WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Parent, Acquisition Subsidiary and Company have determined that it is in the best interests of their respective companies to consummate the business combination transaction provided for herein in which Parent will acquire Company through the merger of Acquisition Subsidiary, a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, with and into Company (the “Merger”); and

          WHEREAS, as soon as practicable after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, PeoplesBank, a Codorus Valley Company, a bank and trust company organized under the Pennsylvania Banking Code of 1965 and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Parent Bank”), and Madison Square Federal Savings Bank, a federal savings bank and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Company Bank”), will enter into a Bank Plan of Merger (the “Bank Merger Agreement”), substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, pursuant to which the Company Bank shall merge with and into the Parent Bank (the “Bank Merger”), with the Parent Bank constituting the surviving bank (the “Surviving Bank”), and it is intended that the Bank Merger be consummated immediately following the consummation of the Merger; and

          WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of Parent to enter into this Agreement, each of the directors and executive officers of Company and/or Company Bank has entered into a Voting Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, dated as of the date hereof, with Parent (the “Company Voting Agreements”), pursuant to which each such director or executive officer has agreed, among other things, to vote all shares of common stock of Company owned by such person in favor of the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Company Voting Agreements; and

          WHEREAS, the parties desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe certain conditions to the Merger; and

          WHEREAS, unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in Section 9.13.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
THE MERGER

          1.1          The Merger.

          Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in accordance with the PBCL and the General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland, as amended (“MGCL”), at the Effective Time, Acquisition Subsidiary will merge with and into Company, with Company being the surviving corporation (hereinafter sometimes called the “Surviving Corporation”) in the Merger. Upon consummation of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Acquisition Subsidiary shall cease and the Company shall change its name to CVLY Corp.

          1.2          Effective Time.

          The Merger shall become effective on the date and at the time the articles of merger (the “Articles of Merger”) are filed with the Pennsylvania Department of State and Department of Assessments and Taxation of the

          1.3          Effects of the Merger.

          The Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 1929 of the PBCL and Section 3-114 of the MGCL.

          1.4          Conversion of Company Common Stock.

          At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof:

                         (a)          Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive $22.90 cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”);

                         (b)          All shares of Company Common Stock that are owned by Company as treasury stock and all shares of Company Common Stock that are owned directly or indirectly by Parent or Company, including any shares of Company Common Stock held by Parent or Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries in respect of a debt previously contracted, other than shares that are held by Parent, if any, in a fiduciary capacity, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist and no cash or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor; and

                         (c)          Each share of Acquisition Subsidiary Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

          1.5          Options.

          At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each option granted by Company to purchase shares of Company Common Stock which is outstanding, unexpired and unexercised immediately prior thereto, whether or not previously vested and exercisable (“Company Options”), shall automatically be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Option and (y) the Merger Consideration, less the per share exercise price of such Company Option, without interest. In the event any Company Option is subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the payment of the amount of cash with respect thereto shall be delayed to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

          1.6          Articles of Incorporation.

          The articles of incorporation of Company shall be amended at the Effective Time to change the name to CVLY Corp. and, as so amended, shall be the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation.

          1.7          Bylaws.

          The bylaws of Company shall be amended at the Effective Time to read in their entirety as the bylaws of Acquisition Subsidiary in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time and, as so amended, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

          1.8          Directors and Officers.

          From and after the Effective Time, until successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with applicable law, (i) the directors of Acquisition Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation and (ii) the officers of the Acquisition Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation.

5


          1.9          Reservation of Right to Revise Structure.

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall be entitled to revise the structure of the Merger, including without limitation, by merging Company into Parent, provided that (i) the consideration to be paid to the holders of Company Common Stock and Company Options under this Agreement is not thereby changed in kind or value or reduced in amount; and (ii) such modification will not delay or jeopardize the receipt of the Requisite Regulatory Approvals or other consents and approvals relating to the consummation of the Merger, otherwise delay or jeopardize the satisfaction of any condition to Closing set forth in Article VII or otherwise adversely affect Company or the holders of the Company Common Stock. The parties hereto agree to appropriately amend this Agreement and any related documents in order to reflect any such revised structure.

ARTICLE II
EXCHANGE PROCEDURES

          2.1          Exchange Procedures.

          Each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock (“Holder”) shall have the right, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article II, to exchange Company Common Stock for Merger Consideration in accordance with the following procedures:

                         (a)          If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name certificates of the shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company Stock Certificates”) so surrendered is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that such Company Stock Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other similar Taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Company Stock Certificate, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable. The Exchange Agent (or, subsequent to the six-month anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Holder such amounts as the Exchange Agent or Parent, as the case may be, is required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law, with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent the amounts are so withheld by the Exchange Agent or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Holder in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by the Exchange Agent or Parent, as the case may be.

                         (b)          After the Effective Time there shall be no further registration or transfers of shares of Company Common Stock. If, after the Effective Time, Company Stock Certificates are presented to the Parent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article II.

                         (c)          At any time following the one-year anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it any remaining portion of the Merger Consideration not distributed to Holders that was deposited with the Exchange Agent at the Effective Time (the “Exchange Fund”) (including any interest received with respect thereto and other income resulting from investments by the Exchange Agent, as directed by Parent), and Holders shall be entitled to look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) with respect to the Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their Company Stock Certificates, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Parent nor the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Holder for Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

                         (d)          In the event any Company Stock Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Company Stock Certificate(s) to be lost,

6


stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such sum as Parent may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Company Stock Certificate(s), Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to issue the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificates.

                         (e)          Parent, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, shall have the right to make all determinations, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, governing the compliance by any Holder with the exchange procedures set forth herein.

                         (f)           Prior to the Effective Time, Parent will deposit with the Exchange Agent sufficient cash to permit timely payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration.

                         (g)          As soon as reasonably practicable but no later than five business days after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Company Stock Certificate(s) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, whose shares or options were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.4, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Company Stock Certificate(s) shall pass, only upon delivery of the Company Stock Certificate(s) (or affidavits of loss in lieu of such certificates)) (the “Letter of Transmittal”) to the Exchange Agent and shall be substantially in such form and have such other provisions as shall be determined by Parent and (ii) instructions for use in surrendering the Company Stock Certificate(s) in exchange for the Merger Consideration to be paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such certificate. For shares of Company Common Stock held in book entry form, Parent shall establish procedures for delivery of such shares, which procedures shall be reasonably acceptable to Company.

                         (h)          Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of its Company Stock Certificate(s), accompanied by a properly completed Letter of Transmittal, a Holder will be entitled to receive promptly after the Effective Time the Merger Consideration in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by its Company Stock Certificate. Until so surrendered, each such Company Stock Certificate shall represent after the Effective Time, for all purposes, only the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such certificate.

          2.2          Dissenters’ Rights.

          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time held by a holder who has the right to demand and has properly demanded payment for the fair value of such shares in accordance with Sections 3-202 and 3-203 of the MGCL (or any successor provision) (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, but shall have the rights set forth in Section 3-202 of the MGCL (or any successor provision) unless such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s right to such payment. If, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect or loses any such right to payment of the fair value of such shares, each such share held by such holder shall be converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.4. Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of any demands received by Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments relating to appraisal rights delivered pursuant to the MGCL and received by Company, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands or agree to do or commit to do any of the foregoing.

Parent shall prepare and furnish such information relating to it and its directors, officer and shareholders as may be reasonably requested by Company in connection with the Proxy Materials. Company shall cause the Proxy Materials to be mailed to Company shareholders as promptly as practicable following the date hereof. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to Company, or its respective affiliates, officers or directors, should be discovered by Parent or Company, which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any of the Proxy Materials so that any of such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to

25


make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party hereto and, to the extent required by law, rules or regulations, an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly disseminated to the shareholders of Company.

                         (b)          The information regarding Company and the Company Subsidiaries to be supplied by Company for inclusion in the Proxy Materials will not, at the time the Proxy Materials are disseminated to Company shareholders, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

                         (c)          The information regarding Parent and its Subsidiaries to be supplied by Parent for inclusion in the Proxy Materials will not, at the time the Proxy Materials are disseminated to Company shareholders, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

                         (d)          As promptly as practicable but no longer than 45 days following the date hereof, Parent and Company will prepare and file, and will cause their respective Subsidiaries to prepare and file, all necessary documentation, to effect all applications, notices, petitions and filings, and to obtain as promptly as practicable all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations or waivers thereof of all third parties and Governmental Entities which are necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Merger). Parent and Company shall cooperate with each other to effect the foregoing. Company and Parent shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult the other on, in each case subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, all the information relating to Company and Parent, as the case may be, which appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to provide either party with a right to review any information provided to any Governmental Entity on a confidential basis in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties hereto shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. The parties hereto agree that they will consult with each other with respect to the obtaining of all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Entities necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each party will keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to contemplation of the transactions contemplated herein.

                         (e)          Parent and Company shall promptly advise each other upon receiving: (i) any communication from any Governmental Entity whose consent or approval is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement which causes such party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any Requisite Regulatory Approval will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such approval will be materially delayed; (ii) any communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person (or other Person) is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and the response thereto from Parent or Company or its respective representatives); and (iii) any legal actions threatened or commenced against or otherwise affecting Parent or Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries that are related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and the response thereto from Parent or Company, its respective Subsidiaries or its respective representatives).

          6.2          Access to Information.

                         (a)          Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, Company shall afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives of Parent, access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time, to all its properties, books, contracts, commitments and records and, subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, during such period, Company shall make available to Parent (i) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal securities laws or federal or state banking laws and (ii) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Parent may reasonably request. Parent shall receive notice of all meetings of the Company Board of Directors and any committees thereof, and of any management committees (in all cases, at least as timely as all Company representatives to such meetings are

26


provided notice). A representative of Parent shall be permitted to attend all meetings of the Board of Directors (except for the portion of such meetings which relate to the Merger or a Superior Proposal or as may be necessary or appropriate in order to preserve attorney client privilege) and such meetings of committees of the Board of Directors and management of Company which Parent desires. Parent will hold all such information in confidence to the extent required by, and in accordance with, the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company shall not be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would violate the rights of its customers, jeopardize the attorney-client privilege, or contravene any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. Company will make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the previous sentence apply.

                         (b)          Company and Parent shall meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan for the conversion of Company’s data processing and related electronic informational systems to those used by Parent, which planning shall include, but not be limited to, discussion of the possible termination by Company of third-party service provider arrangements effective at the Effective Time or at a date thereafter, non-renewal of personal property leases and software licenses used by Company in connection with its systems operations, retention of outside consultants and additional employees to assist with the conversion, and outsourcing, as appropriate, of proprietary or self-provided system services, it being understood that Company shall not be obligated to take any such action prior to the Effective Time and, unless Company otherwise agrees, no conversion shall take place prior to the Effective Time.

                         (c)          Company shall provide Parent, within fifteen (15) business days of the end of each calendar month, a written list of nonperforming assets (the term “nonperforming assets,” for purposes of this subsection, means (i) loans that are “troubled debt restructuring” as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 310-40, Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, and (ii) all Company Delinquent Loans). On a monthly basis, Company shall provide Parent with a schedule of all loan approvals, which schedule shall indicate the loan amount, loan type and other material features of the loan.

                         (d)          No investigation by either of the parties or their respective representatives shall relieve any other party from any breach or violation of this Agreement and shall not have any effect for the purposes of determining the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VII or compliance by Company with the covenants set forth in Section 5.1.

                         (e)          Company shall provide Parent with true, correct and complete copies of all financial and other information provided to directors of Company in connection with meetings of their Boards of Directors or committees thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Company shall deliver to Parent financial statements of Company and its Subsidiaries for any dates or periods after December 31, 2013 through the Closing Date as soon as they are available.

          6.3          No Solicitation; Unsolicited Proposals.

                         (a)          From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Company shall not, shall cause each of Company’s Subsidiaries and Company’s and such Company Subsidiaries’ respective officers and directors not to, and shall not authorize or permit its non-officer employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants or other agents or representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or facilitate (including by way of furnishing non-public information), any inquiries or the making or submission of, or any inquiry, offer, proposal or indication of interest that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Competing Proposal, (ii) participate or engage in any discussions or negotiations with, or disclose or provide any non-public information or data relating to Company or any Company Subsidiary or afford access to the properties, assets, books or records or employees of Company or any Company Subsidiary to, any Person, or “group” (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act ) other than Parent and its Subsidiaries and Representatives (any such Person or “group” and its Representatives (excluding the Company’s and Parent’s Representatives in their capacity as such), a “Third Party”) relating to a Competing Proposal, (iii) accept, approve, endorse or recommend a Competing Proposal, or (iv) enter into any agreement, arrangement, undertaking, contract, commitment

27


or understanding (including any agreement in principle or letter of intent or understanding) with respect to or contemplating a Competing Proposal or enter into any agreement, arrangement, undertaking, contract, commitment or understanding requiring Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and Company’s and such Company Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives to, immediately cease and terminate any existing solicitation, encouragement, activity, discussion or negotiation with any Third Party heretofore conducted by Company, the Company Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives with respect to a Competing Proposal.

                         (b)          Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in Section 6.3(a), if, at any time prior to the Effective Time, (i) Company receives an unsolicited bona fide written Competing Proposal from a Third Party and (ii) the Company Board of Directors (A) determines in good faith (after consultation with Company’s financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that such Competing Proposal is, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal and (B) determines in good faith, after consultation with Company’s financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that the failure to take any such action could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to Company’s shareholders under applicable law, Company may, subject to its giving Parent prior written notice (which notice shall contain a description of the material terms of the Competing Proposal and a statement to the effect that the Company Board of Directors has made the determination required by this Section 6.3(b) and Company intends to furnish non-public information to, or enter into discussions or negotiations with, such Third Party), (x) furnish information with respect to Company and Company Subsidiaries to such Third Party pursuant to a confidentiality agreement, provided, that a copy of all such information is delivered simultaneously to Parent to the extent it has not previously been so furnished to Parent and (y) participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with such Third Party regarding such Competing Proposal (including by requesting that such Third Party amend the terms of such Competing Proposal so that it may be a Superior Proposal).

                         (c)          In addition to any prior notice obligations contained in Section 6.3(b), Company shall as promptly as practicable (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours) notify Parent of any Competing Proposal that Company receives or of any request for information or inquiry that Company receives which relates to or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Competing Proposal, which notification shall include the material terms and conditions of such Competing Proposal, request or inquiry. Company shall keep Parent informed on a reasonably current basis (but in any event within 48 hours) of the status and material terms and conditions (including all amendments or proposed amendments) of any such Competing Proposal, request or inquiry. Company shall provide Parent with at least forty eight (48) hours prior notice of a meeting of the Company Board of Directors (or such lesser notice as is provided to the members of the Company Board of Directors) at which the Company Board of Directors is reasonably expected to consider a Competing Proposal.

                         (d)          Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit Company from (i) taking and disclosing to its shareholders a position as contemplated by Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) otherwise disclosing any information to its shareholders that the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) it is required to disclose in order to not breach its fiduciary duties to the Company’s shareholders under applicable law, subject to compliance with the requirements of Sections 6.3(a), (b), and (c) and Section 6.4.

                         (e)          Company shall not release or waive any provision of any confidentiality, “standstill” or similar agreement to which Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party. Company will use its reasonable best efforts to enforce or cause to be enforced each such agreement at the request of Parent.

                         (f)          Company or its Representatives shall promptly after the date of this Agreement instruct that each Person which has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement relating to a Competing Proposal with or for the benefit of Company to promptly return or destroy (which destruction shall be certified in writing by such Person to Company) all information, documents and materials relating to a Competing Proposal or to Company or its businesses, operations or affairs heretofore furnished by Company or any of its Representatives to such Person or any of its Representatives in accordance with the terms of any confidentiality agreement with such Person and to destroy all summaries, analyses or extracts of or based upon such information in the possession of such Person or any of its Representatives.

28


          6.4          Shareholder Meeting.

                         Company shall take all reasonable steps necessary to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date hereof for the purpose of voting upon the approval of this Agreement and the Merger (the “Special Meeting”). At such Special Meeting, Company also may submit to its shareholders proposals typically considered at its annual meeting of shareholders, including the election of directors and the ratification of auditors. Management and the Board of Directors of Company shall recommend to its shareholders approval of this Agreement, including the Merger, and the transactions contemplated hereby, together with any matters incident thereto, and shall oppose any third party proposal or other action that is inconsistent with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that Company shall not be obligated to so recommend or oppose (a “Change in Recommendation”), as the case may be, if at any time prior to the Effective Time either:

                         (i)          (A) the Company Board of Directors has received a Competing Proposal (that has not been withdrawn) that constitutes a Superior Proposal, (B) the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith (after considering in good faith any counter-offer or proposal made by Parent during the two-day period contemplated by clause (D) below), that the failure to effect a Change in Recommendation in light of such Superior Proposal reasonably would be expected to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to Company’s shareholders under applicable law, (C) at least two (2) days prior to such Change in Recommendation, Company shall have provided to Parent a written notice (a “Notice of Recommendation Change”) of its intention to make such Change in Recommendation (which notice shall not be deemed to be, in and of itself, a Change in Recommendation), specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, including a copy of such Superior Proposal and identifying the Person making such Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material terms of such Superior Proposal shall require the delivery of a new Notice of Recommendation Change and a new one-day period), (D) during the two-day period following Parent’s receipt of a Notice of Recommendation Change, Company shall have given Parent the opportunity to meet with Company and its Representatives, and at Parent’s request, shall have negotiated in good faith regarding the terms of possible revisions to the terms of this Agreement, and (E) Parent shall not, within two (2) days of Parent’s receipt of a Notice of Recommendation Change have made an offer that the Board of Directors of Company determines in good faith, after consultation, to be at least as favorable to the Company’s shareholders as such Superior Proposal; or

                         (ii)          other than in connection with a Superior Proposal, (A) the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith that the failure to effect a Change in Recommendation could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Company’s shareholders under applicable law and (B) at least two (2) days prior to such Change in Recommendation, Company shall have provided to Parent a Notice of Recommendation Change of its intention to make such Change in Recommendation (which notice shall not be deemed to be, in and of itself a Change in Recommendation), specifying in reasonable detail the circumstances for such proposed Change in Recommendation (it being understood and agreed that any change to such circumstances or any additional circumstances shall require the delivery of a new Notice of Recommendation Change and a new one-day period), and (C) during the two-day period following Parent’s receipt of a Notice of Recommendation Change, Company shall have given Parent the opportunity to meet with Company and its Representatives, and at Parent’s request, shall have negotiated in good faith regarding the terms of possible revisions to the terms of this Agreement.

          6.5          Legal Conditions to Merger.

          Each of Parent and Company shall use their reasonable best efforts (a) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to comply promptly with all legal requirements which may be imposed on such party with respect to the Merger and, subject to the conditions set forth in Article VII hereof, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (b) to obtain (and to cooperate with the other party to obtain) any consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Entity and any other third party, or any waiver thereof, which is required to be obtained by Company or Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

29


          6.6          Employees.

                         (a)          To the extent permissible under the applicable provisions of the Code and ERISA, for purposes of crediting periods of service for eligibility to participate and vesting, but not for benefit accrual purposes, under employee pension benefit plans (within the meaning of ERISA Section 3(2)) and employee welfare plans (within the meaning of ERISA Section 3(1) maintained by Parent or Parent Bank, as applicable, individuals who are employees of Company or any Company Subsidiary at the Effective Time and who become eligible to participate in such plans will be credited with periods of service with Company or any Company Subsidiary (or with any predecessor to Company or any Company Subsidiary, to the extent such service is credited for such purposes under the corresponding Plan) before the Effective Time as if such service had been with Parent or Parent Bank, as applicable.

                         (b)          After the Effective Time, except to the extent that Parent or its Subsidiaries continues Plans in effect or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, employees of Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries who become employed by Parent or any of the Parent Subsidiaries will be eligible for employee benefits that Parent or such Parent Subsidiary, as the case may be, provides to its newly-hired employees generally and, except as otherwise required by this Agreement, on the same basis as is applicable to such newly-hired employees, provided that nothing in this Agreement shall require any duplication of benefits. To the extent permitted under applicable Law and Parent’s group health, life insurance and disability plans, and paid time off plans, Parent will or will cause Parent Bank to give credit to employees of Company and Company Subsidiaries, with respect to the satisfaction of the limitations as to pre-existing condition exclusions, evidence of insurability requirements and waiting periods for participation and coverage that are applicable under such plans of Parent or Parent Bank, equal to the credit that any such employee had received as of the Effective Time towards the satisfaction of any such limitations and waiting periods under the comparable plans of Company or Company Subsidiaries and to waive preexisting condition limitations to the same extent waived under the corresponding Plan.

                         (c)          After the Merger, Parent and each relevant Parent Subsidiary will honor and perform the obligations of Company under the contracts, plans and arrangements listed in Sections 6.6(d) and 3.13 of the Company Disclosure Schedules.

                         (d)          After the Effective Time, Parent and each relevant Parent Subsidiary will provide a severance benefit to each employee of Company or any Company Subsidiary immediately before the Effective Time (other than any such employee who is a party to any written agreement relating to employment or severance described in Section 3.13(a) hereof) in accordance with the terms of the Madison Square Federal Savings Bank Employee Severance Compensation Plan as in effect on the date hereof (the “Company Severance Plan”).

                         (e)          Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered to Parent within thirty (30) days following execution of this Agreement with respect to each executive officer named in Section 3.12(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules, the written acknowledgment of each such individual pursuant to which each such individual agrees and acknowledges that the dollar amount of severance or termination benefits set forth opposite such individual’s name on such Disclosure Schedule (other than amounts accrued on the financial statements of Company and Company Bank) is the maximum amount that would be due to such individual under any employment agreement, special termination agreement, change in control agreement, supplemental executive retirement plan, deferred bonus plan, deferred compensation plan, salary continuation plan, or any other non-qualified pension benefit or welfare benefit plan maintained by Company or a Company Subsidiary assuming a termination of such individual’s employment on the Effective Time. Company and Parent acknowledge and agree that the amounts shown on the Disclosure Schedule and the letter of acknowledgment for each officer named herein reflect a good faith estimate of the maximum amounts that will be payable to such individuals under the circumstances described and may be subject to adjustment upon an actual termination of employment in order to reflect increases in such individuals’ compensation and benefit plans consistent with past practices for routine periodic increases and changes in tax rates and assumptions used in making such good faith estimates.

          6.7          Indemnification.

                         (a)          In the event of any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, in which any Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer or employee of Company (the

30


Indemnified Parties”) is, or is threatened to be, made a party based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to (i) the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer or employee of Company or any of their respective predecessors or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a director or officer, employee, trustee or other agent of any other entity or in any capacity with respect to any employee benefit plan of Company or (ii) this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether in any case asserted or arising before or after the Effective Time, the parties hereto agree to cooperate and defend against and respond thereto to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Company as in effect on the date hereof. It is understood and agreed that after the Effective Time, Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent to which such Indemnified Parties would be entitled to have the right to advancements of expenses or to be indemnified under the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Company as in effect on the date of this Agreement as though such Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws continue to remain in effect after the Effective Time and as permitted by applicable Law, each such Indemnified Party against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any such threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, and in the event of any such threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether asserted or arising before or after the Effective Time), the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to Parent; provided, however, that (1) Parent shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and upon such assumption Parent shall not be liable to any Indemnified Party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, except that if Parent elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties reasonably advises the Indemnified Parties that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between Parent and the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to Parent, and Parent shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties, (2) Parent shall be obligated pursuant to this Section 6.7(a) to pay for only one firm of counsel for each Indemnified Party, and (3) Parent shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 6.7, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall notify Parent thereof; provided, however, that the failure to so notify shall not affect the obligations of Parent under this Section 6.7 except to the extent such failure to notify materially prejudices Parent. Parent’s obligations under this Section 6.7 shall continue in full force and effect for a period of six years from the Effective Time; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any claim asserted or made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such claim. Parent shall require any successor to expressly assume its obligations under this Section 6.7(a).

                         (b)          Parent shall purchase, prior to the Closing, for the benefit of the persons (“Insured Persons”) currently covered by the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy/ies currently maintained by Company (“D&O Coverage”), similar directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage with a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six years after the Effective Time. Parent may purchase such coverage: (i) under Company’s current policy/ies; or (ii) under a policy/ies of similar scope of coverage, retentions, and limits of liability, containing terms and conditions that generally are not less advantageous than Company’s current policy, and from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as Company’s current D&O Coverage carrier/s. In either case, the policy/ies will cover acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time, which were committed by such Insured Persons in their capacity as officers, directors, employees, or other Insured Persons of Company; provided however, that in no event shall Parent be required to expend pursuant to this Section 6.7(b) more than an amount equal to 150% of the current annual amount expended by Company to maintain or procure D&O Coverage. In connection with the foregoing, Company agrees to provide such insurer or substitute insurer with such representations as such insurer may reasonably request with respect to the reporting of any prior claims.

          6.8          Additional Agreements.

          In case at any time after the Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full title to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of any of the parties to the Merger, the proper officers and directors of each party to this Agreement and Parent’s and Company’s Subsidiaries shall take all such necessary action as may be reasonably requested by Parent.

31


          6.9          Advise of Changes.

          Parent and Company shall promptly advise the other party of any change or event that, individually or in the aggregate, has or would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on it or to cause or constitute a material breach of any of its respective representations, warranties or covenants contained herein. From time to time prior to the Effective Time, each party will promptly supplement or amend its Disclosure Schedule delivered in connection with the execution of this Agreement to reflect any matter which, if existing, occurring or known at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in such Disclosure Schedule or which is necessary to correct any information in such disclosure schedule which has been rendered inaccurate thereby. No supplement or amendment to such disclosure schedule shall have any effect for the purpose of determining satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.2(a) or 7.3(a), as the case may be, or the compliance by Company with the covenants set forth in Section 5.1.

          6.10          Current Information.

          During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, Company will cause one or more of its designated representatives to confer on a regular and frequent basis (not less than monthly) with representatives of Parent and to report the general status of the ongoing operations of Company. Company will promptly notify Parent of any material change in the normal course of business or in the operation of the properties of Company and of any complaints, investigations or hearings (or communications indicating that the same may be contemplated) of any Governmental Entity, or the institution or the threat of litigation involving Company, and will keep Parent fully informed of such events. Without limiting the foregoing, senior officers of Parent shall meet on a reasonably regular basis (expected to be at least monthly) to review the financial and operational affairs of Company and the Company Subsidiaries, in accordance with applicable law, and Company shall give due consideration to Parent’s input on such matters, with the understanding that, notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries shall under any circumstance be permitted to exercise control of Company or any Company Subsidiary prior to the Effective Time.

          6.11          ESOP Matters.

          The Company Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) shall be terminated by the Company in accordance with its terms effective as of the Effective Time. The accounts of all participants and beneficiaries in the ESOP as of the Effective Time shall become fully vested as of the Effective Time. Any shares of Company Common Stock held in the ESOP shall be converted into the Merger Consideration and shall be allocated as earnings to the accounts of ESOP participants who have account balances in the ESOP in accordance with the applicable provisions of the ESOP. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Parent shall file or cause to be filed all necessary documents with the IRS for a determination letter for termination of the ESOP. As soon as practicable following the Effective Time or the receipt of a favorable determination letter from the IRS regarding the qualified status of the ESOP upon its termination, the account balances in the ESOP shall be either distributed to participants and beneficiaries or transferred to an eligible tax-qualified retirement plan or individual retirement account as a participant or beneficiary may direct. Parent agrees to permit continuing employees to rollover the cash portion of their account balances in the ESOP to Parent’s 401(k) Plan. During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, Company shall refrain from allocating any additional shares of Company Common Stock under the ESOP, except as required by the ESOP and the applicable ESOP loan documents.

          6.12          Compliance with Section 409A.

          Prior to the Effective Time, and to the extent any such Plans are eligible for correction or amendment, the Company or a Company Subsidiary shall take any and all actions necessary, pursuant to the IRS guidance under Notice 2008-113, Notice 2010-6 or Notice 2010-80, to ensure that each Plan that is deemed to constitute a nonqualified deferred compensation plan subject to Section 409A of the Code is in operational and documentary compliance with Section 409A of the Code as of the Effective Time. To the extent that the Company or a Company Subsidiary has identified any potential failure of a nonqualified deferred compensation plan to comply with Section 409A of the Code, the Company will provide to the Parent: (a) notice regarding any such potential failure, (b) documentation regarding any such required correction prior to such correction, and (c) evidence such correction has

32


been completed, including evidence that the Company or Company Subsidiary and any affected individual has satisfied or will satisfy the reporting requirements, as applicable.

          6.13          Execution and Authorization of Bank Merger Agreement.

          As soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, (a) Parent shall (i) cause the Board of Directors of the Parent Bank to approve and adopt the Bank Merger Agreement, (ii) cause the Parent Bank to execute and deliver the Bank Merger Agreement, and (iii) approve and adopt the Bank Merger Agreement as the sole shareholder of the Parent Bank, and (b) the Company shall (i) cause the Board of Directors of the Company Bank to approve and adopt the Bank Merger Agreement, (ii) cause the Company Bank to execute and deliver the Bank Merger Agreement, and (iii) approve and adopt the Bank Merger Agreement as the sole shareholder of the Company Bank.

          6.14           Merger Covenants.

          Notwithstanding that Company believes that it has established all reserves and taken all provisions for possible loan losses required by GAAP and applicable Laws, Company recognizes that Parent may have different loan, accrual and reserve policies (including loan classifications and levels of reserves for possible loan losses). In that regard, and in general, from and after the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, Company and Parent shall consult and cooperate with each other in order to formulate the plan of integration for the Merger, including, among other things, with respect to conforming, based upon such consultation, Company’s loan, accrual and reserve policies to those policies of Parent to the extent appropriate; provided, however, that no modifications or changes need be made prior to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2. No accrual or reserve or change in policy or procedure made by Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 6.15 shall constitute or be deemed to be a breach, violation of or failure to satisfy any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, condition or other provision of this Agreement or otherwise be considered in determining whether any such breach, violation or failure to satisfy shall have occurred. The recording of any such adjustment shall not be deemed to imply any misstatement of previously furnished financial statements or information and shall not be construed as concurrence of Company or its management with any such adjustments.
